After half a day's rest, I was finally able to get off the ground. But unexpectedly, as soon as I hit the ground, the muscles in my legs hurt as if they were on fire, and I suddenly sat down on the bed again. It happened that this scene was seen by Hu Yunting, he patted me on the shoulder and said to me: "You still don't have to be too reluctant, with your current body, if you want to fully recover, I'm afraid it will take a day and a half." ”

"What's going on? How did my legs end up like this? I asked Hu Yunting, "What happened?" ”

Hu Yunting looked at me and said, "We don't know what happened. All I know is that when we found you, the four of you were lying motionless on the sand, breathing weakly, and you were really not far from death......"

"Where did you find us?" I asked.

"About three kilometers from our camp!" Hu Yunting said.

"So close? Why didn't we find you before? I asked.

Hu Yunting said: "I don't know about this. Oh, by the way, you're the second of the four of you to wake up, and the first one is the guide named Azmat. He told us that he seemed to have come to the neighborhood with a caravan......"

I frowned: "Caravan? "I was thinking, why did he also encounter a caravan? Wasn't that my own dream?

Hu Yunting said: "He came all the way with a camel caravan in a daze...... However, we have never seen any caravans pass by here...... Oh yes, and when that Azmai alert came, we used our equipment to lock the GPS on your car, but it's strange that your car is about fifty kilometers away from where you were found......"

"Fifty kilometers?" I screamed.

Hu Yunting nodded: "I really don't understand, these fifty kilometers are really you walking down step by step?" If not, how did you get here? If so, then the pain in your leg muscles is easy to explain. But I heard Azmat say that you haven't drunk water for nearly two days, so how did you get down the 50 kilometers in Lop Nur? And it's the hottest time of the day......"

"I ...... I don't know...... "I can't figure it out even when I think about it." Hu Yunting stood up and patted me and said, "Don't think about these things, let's recover your body first......"

The next day, I didn't have much of a problem, although my body was still a little weak and my legs hurt a little, but it didn't affect anything. Early in the morning, I stepped out of the tent and saw that everyone was busy. This team was an expedition organized by Jin Yuxiang in order to find the bronze jade slanting furnace in the photo he had shown me and the altar. There are a total of seventeen people in this team, not counting Jin Yuxiang and Hu Yunting, and fifteen people. Eight of the fifteen were bodyguards, one was a guide, two were equipment managers, and the remaining four were logisticians.

Here I saw Tanzi, Xu Yunshu and Azmat. After seeing that they were safe and sound, the heart I had been carrying finally fell to the ground. I asked the three of them, and their experiences were the same as mine, they all saw that there was no one in the car, got out of the car, met the caravan, and then followed the caravan all the way until they were unconscious. The four of us discussed it for a long time, but we couldn't come up with a definite answer, and finally we agreed that it was just an illusion that we had in the sun, the scenery, and the heat. But in my heart, I don't think so, since it's an illusion, why are the four of us seeing the same content? If not an illusion, then what exactly is a caravan, where did it come from, and what to do? They wanted to harm us, but why did they bring us to the edge of Jin Yuxiang and Hu Yunting's camp? They want to save us, but why should they let us suffer so much? It's really confusing to me.

Jin Yuxiang's campsite is northwest of the ancient city of Loulan, and it is said that they will continue to explore westward in search of what Jin Yuxiang is looking for.

During the day, Jin Yuxiang set off with a guide, four bodyguards and two logistics personnel to search for clues around the camp, and returned to the camp at night.

After dinner, Hu Yunting found us, and after chatting with us for a while, he smiled and said to us: "Actually, I admire your courage, you dare to brave Lop Nur, which is known as the 'Sea of Death', without making all preparations...... You guys are underestimating Lop Nur too! There was a high monk named Fa Xian in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who ...... when he traveled west to learn scriptures."

"Traveling west to learn from the scriptures? Isn't it Tang Seng? The jar interjected.

Hu Yunting said: "Fa Xian is more than 200 years earlier than Tang Seng Xuanzang!" When he was traveling west, he passed through Loulan and recorded in his book "The Legend of the Buddha's Kingdom" that this place was 'no birds above, no beasts below, all over the eyes, only the dead man's dry bones as the mark ear!' Imagine how terrible Lop Nur is! ”

"In addition, there have been many strange incidents in Lop Nur in modern times, which makes people frightened and retreat from the place of Lop Nur." Hu Yunting said.

"Yes...... What kind of event? I asked.

Hu Yunting said: "The planes and cars disappeared inexplicably, and the people who came here will die for no reason...... Especially in those fatal incidents, it is clear that there is enough water and gasoline in the car, and the car is also intact, but the person died more than ten kilometers away, or even dozens of kilometers away, neither suicide nor homicide...... There are even people who have disappeared and have not been found until now, whether they are alive or dead, no one knows......"

"Isn't that something like what happened to us?" Jar said.

Xu Yunshu nodded and said, "It's very similar, but there are also differences." We can say that we hallucinated because of the extreme lack of water, but Dr. Hu said that there was water in the car, so they couldn't have the conditions we had when we had an accident......"

Tanzi scratched his head: "That's true!" ”

At this time, one of Jin Yuxiang's bodyguards walked in and said that Jin Yuxiang wanted to see me.

I went to Jin Yuxiang's tent and saw him flipping through it with a worn-out notebook. Seeing us come in, he smiled and stretched out his hand: "Just sit down!" At the same time, he greeted the bodyguard who brought us in: "Pour a glass of water for Mr. Pei." ”

The bodyguard finished pouring the water and stood down behind me.

As soon as I sat down, Jin Yuxiang looked down and touched the gold ring in his hand and asked me, "I don't know what Mr. Pei's plans are in the future?" ”
